SmokinXS:I checked my orders in house and they have all been shipped. I may have missed your Email, but try again and I will look out for it as I will need your name to track the order. NewHavenMike: Are you still under warranty? If so, I will replace your PAMCO under warranty. Please try Email...

You may have had an overvoltage condition that fried those capacitors. Try just cutting them out.

Yes, the engine should start with the initial setup allowing you to then use a timing light to set the timing. Some possibilities would include that the coils are reversed, fouled spark plugs due to repeated starting attempts.

E-mail your name and address to pete@cb350ignition.com and I will replace the unit.

Flagg, I'm here. Having a phone number for such a small company as mine would be cost prohibitive. The installation instructions are on the web site, www.xs400ignition.com . Here is the link from that site. http://xs400ignition.com/Installation400E.htm .Like many companies these days, the...

Thank you for the feedback! PamcoPete

We have sold a lot of the original PAMCO that use the stock mechanical advancer without a clearance problem. The E-Advance model rotor has the same height and diameter as the rotor on the earlier model. Also, the beta tester with the very first E-Advancer did not report a problem with clearance...

Wolfe_11B, I have ordered some new plates that will be 2.5mm thick. I changed the 8-32 holes to 6-32 holes to provide more room for adjustment. I'll send you a new plate when they are delivered to me. Thanks for the feedback.

Wolfe_11B, Glad you got it going. Lets hear about the problems you encountered here so we can all learn from your experience. I don't see where you could have a problem only associated with the TCI models as all of the TCI components are removed and no longer used, leaving the engine in the...

You can use the green wire to the coil, but DO NOT use the sensor wiring as it is directly connected to the MCU. Your tach should be specifically compatible with an electronic ignition. If it worked with your TCI from the coil, then should be no problem. Be sure to observe the labels for the...

If you set the ignition to the recommended initial position, the engine should start to enable you to set the timing and get the carbs half way there. It will probably take a lot of back and forth and trial and error but just be patient. The sensors are set initially to be 90 degrees apart, but...

wolfe_11B, Your PAMCO XS400E-HD ignition is on its way to you. Please remember that the installation instructions are V 1.0. You are a pioneer. We have sold a ton of these systems to the Honda CBXXX twin market and the one thing that bubbles to the surface is that users are not aware of the...

A stock points system with a 4 Ohm coil and a 105 degree dwell will draw 14V/4Ohms = 3.5 A X 105/360 = 1 A X 2 coils = 2 Amps. The PAMCO with a 60 degree dwell will draw 13/4 = 3.25 A X 60/360 = .54 A X 2 coils = 1 Amp. I use 13 Volts for the PAMCO because there is a 1 Volt drop across the...

OK. you can now select one of two XS400E's. The original XS400E at 4 to 5 Ohms coil or the very new XS400E-HD for 2.5 to 5 Ohms coil. The difference is that the HD model is in an aluminum enclosure with the transistors bolted to the case for heat dissipation. Standard PAMCO XS400E $189.95 Heavy...

Yes, that is correct. The price point objective was less than $200 and that was achieved by using a plastic box and no heat sinks among other design features. There are not that many suitable coils for the XS400 that are less than 4 Ohms and we also wanted to encourage the use of stock coils to...
